This episode starts out in a dark place. After having a battery/recorder malfunction 30 minutes into the recording, our hosts have to re-record the episode much to the dismay of Sean.

Episode music is "Gloomy Sunday", by Lydia Lunch and "The Cellar" by Antonio Cora, both from The Blair Witch Project soundtrack. Like, subscribe, follow the podcast on Twitter @WhyDoWeOwnThis1
